U.S. food industry trade — politically neutral, business-oriented

It is backed by private investment from the Gellert family, owners of a major specialty food importer, and funded primarily through industry subscriptions and advertising. Its coverage of the Trump administration focuses on business and regulatory impacts — tariff cost pressures, USDA budget cuts, SNAP policy changes — without adopting a partisan editorial position.
